"Dave and AJ from Freedom Contracting & Excavating did a great job for a reasonable price. I had an idea for an outdoor griddle setup using natural gas instead of propane tanks. I thought it was a long shot but they were able to make it happen. Very courteous and straight forward. They even went above and beyond by helping me with the natural gas conversion on my griddle. I would definitely hire them again and if you need any gas line work done, call Freedom C & E for sure! Thanks again!"

The problem with most "pros"? Too many bad habits. It's easy to get swept away in the day to day monotony, even for those that call themselves "pros". When it comes to hiring a heating and cooling technician, nobody wants to deal with being treated like a sale rather than a person, the use of scare tactics instead of education, or someone who just wants to get to job done quickly instead of correctly. All our HVAC pros go through 5 years of HVAC schooling, for a total of 10,000 hours of on-the-job training. And it's not just technical training either; it's training that focuses on you, on making you feel comfortable every step of the way. We will roll out the red carpet for you, both figuratively and literally. Red Carpet Treatment During every visit to a home, we lay out an actual red carpet to prevent any additional mess. But what may be even more important than just protecting your home is making sure you feel like you've received the best in customer service.

Whether you need a permit depends on your local regulations. Always check with your municipality before beginning the installation. Most contractors will handle the permitting process for you.
If your backflow preventer fails, dangerous contaminants can enter your clean water supply, posing serious health risks. You may notice signs like visible leaks, a sudden drop in water pressure, slow drainage, unpleasant odors, or discolored water. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact a professional immediately.
Signs of a failing backflow preventer include visible leaks, a sudden drop in water pressure, sluggish drainage, unpleasant odors, and discolored water. If you notice any of these issues, it's important to have your system inspected by a professional.
You might need a backflow preventer if you have features like irrigation systems, pools, or other water elements that could contaminate your water supply. Commercial and industrial properties are required to have backflow preventers due to higher contamination risks.
A backflow preventer stops water in your main supply from reversing flow and contaminating clean water. A backwater valve is installed in your drainage system to block sewage from backing up during heavy rainfall or overflow. Both devices protect your home but serve different purposes.
The time it takes to install a backflow preventer depends on the type of system. A plumber can typically install a simple backflow preventer, like those for a garden hose or appliance, in less than an hour. Installing a backflow preventer for a complex system can take up to a full day.
